Highlands (Song Of Ascent)

[Intro] Em7  D  C9  G5 

       Em7                       D
Oh how high would I climb mountains
         C9                      G
If the mountains were where You hide
       Em7                D
Oh how far I'd scale the valleys
      C9                  G
If You graced the other side

       Em7                   D
Oh how long have I chased rivers
       C9                      G
From lowly seas to where they rise
   Em7                         D
Against the rush of grace descending
      C9                 G
From the source of its supply

[Pre-Estribillo]

 C          D             Em7
Cause in the highlands and the heartache
                G9               D
You’re neither more or less inclined
        C          D         Em7
I would search and stop at nothing
           C9
You're just not that hard to find

[Estribillo]

G                               D
  I will praise You on the mountain
                                                                    
                                            Em7
And I will praise You when the mountain's in my way
             D                  C
You’re the summit where my feet are
                                             G
So I will praise You in the valleys all the same
                          D
No less God within the shadows
                                                                   
                                        Em7
No less faithful when the night leads me astray
                                 C
You're the heaven where my heart is
                                                                        
             Em7                           D     C  G
In the highlands and the heartache all the same

[Segunda Parte]

Em7                      D
Oh how far beneath Your glory
            C                  G
Does Your kindness extend the path
               Em7                   D
From where Your feet rest on the sunrise
             C                   G
To where You sweep the sinner's past

      Em7                      D
Oh how fast would You come running
             C                     G
If just to shadow me through the night
      Em7                        D
Trace my steps through all my failure
           C               G
And walk me out the other side

[Pre-Estribillo]

             C          D         Em7
For who could dare ascend that mountain
              G9             D
That valleyed hill called Calvary
            C       D         Em7
But for the One I call Good Shepherd
           C9
Who like a lamb was slain for me

[Estribillo]

G                              D
  I will praise You on the mountain
                                                                    
                                               Em7
And I will praise You when the mountain's in my way
              D                C
You’re the summit where my feet are
                                           G
So I will praise You in the valleys all the same
                         D
No less God within the shadows
                                                                   
                                             Em7
No less faithful when the night leads me astray
           D                     C
You're the heaven where my heart is
                                                                        
                 Em7                         D   C  G 
In the highlands and the heartache all the same

[Puente] 

            Em7
Whatever I walk through
            D
Wherever I am
                      C
Your Name can move mountains
             G
Wherever I stand
               Em7
And if ever I walk through
                D
The valley of death
                        C
I'll sing through the shadows
              G
My song of ascent 

             Em7    D      C  G
My song of ascent, ooh, ooh
             Em7   D      C  G
My song of ascent, ooh, ooh

          C         D       Em
From the gravest of all valleys
           G                D
Come the pastures we call grace
          C        D        Em
A mighty river flowing upwards
          C
From a deep but empty grave

G                                D
  So I will praise You on the mountain
                                                                    
                                                Em7
And I will praise You when the mountain's in my way
             D                   C
You’re the summit where my feet are
                                             G
So I will praise You in the valleys all the same
                          D
No less God within the shadows
                                                                   
                                           Em7
No less faithful when the night leads me astray
            D                    C
You're the heaven where my heart is
                                                                        
                 Em7                         G
In the highlands and the heartache all the same
